Mikey Weinstein,
author of "With God on Our Side, One Man's War against an Evangelical
Coup in America's Military" and Founder/President of the Military
Religious Freedom Foundation is scheduled to be honored with
the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his work in removing
Christianity from US Armed Services.

Weinstein
and his international team of researchers and producers are launching
a series of lawsuits against the Pentagon in a concentrated effort
to deprive certain military personnel from openly practicing their
religion -- Christians.

"Try
removing Allah or Mohammed from the military and see what happens?
With Christians you can get away with anything. Judge Andrew Napolitano's
new book "A
Nation of Sheep" is right on. Christians are truly sheep,"
said Lorraine Tillman.

Those who
support Weinstein and his non-profit MRFF claim that he's "breaking
the chokehold on the Evangelical encroachment into the most technologically
lethal organization in the world -- the US Military."

"Their reasoning
is ridiculous. Wouldn't having military personnel who believe
in -- and rely on -- Jesus Christ make for better soldiers?" asks
former US Marine intelligence officer and NYPD detective Sidney
Francis.

"Weinstein
and his followers cloak their actions with the US Constitution,
but I don't see it in my copy. Perhaps it's in the section adjacent
to a woman's right to kill an unborn baby," said Det. Francis.

According
to political consultant Mike Baker, many of the members of the
Military
Religious Freedom Foundation are left-wingers from the
Hollywood elite. Their website lists many liberal-left activists
including television producer and People for the American Way
founder Norman Lear, actors Ed Azner and Ed Begley, Jr., former
"Mamas and Papas" singer Michelle Phillips, and has-been movie
star Eric Roberts.

"It's the
same cast of anti-American activists under a different banner.
These people want to kick God and Jesus Christ out of the schools,
the military, the courts and anywhere else they can think of,"
said Baker.

In a Los
Angeles Times op-ed piece, Weinstein and one of his cohorts published
the following:

"What [did]
the packages to contain? Not body armor or home-baked cookies.
Rather, they held Bibles, proselytizing material in English and
Arabic and the apocalyptic computer game 'Left Behind: Eternal
Forces' (derived from the series of post-Rapture novels), in which
'soldiers for Christ' hunt down enemies who look suspiciously
like UN peacekeepers.

"The packages
were put together by a fundamentalist Christian ministry called
Operation Straight Up, or OSU. Headed by former kickboxer Jonathan
Spinks, OSU is an official member of the Defense Department's
"America Supports You" program. The group has staged a number
of Christian-themed shows at military bases, featuring athletes,
strongmen and actor-turned-evangelist Stephen Baldwin. But thanks
in part to the support of the Pentagon, Operation Straight Up
has now begun focusing on Iraq, where, according to its website
, it planned an entertainment tour called the 'Military Crusade.'"

The MRFF
website boasts of the organization's close relationship with the
big media such as CNN, the New York Times, MSNBC, Dan Rather,
Bill Moyers and others.

"These are
well-connected people who only wish harm to our military... and
what's more harmful than removing Christianity. MRFF is a front
group for the ultra-left People for the American Way," said former
US Air Force intelligence officer now a police lieutenant in New
Jersey Stephan Rogers.

Rogers believes
the goal is to change the loyalty of the US military. "If our
soldiers don't believe in God and Country, they will be more inclined
to accept United Nations honchos as their superiors and less inclined
towards loyalty to the American people."
